I heard a guy discussing why men have such a hard time with homosexuality, specifically pertaining to the lack of masculinity. He said that men and women, during sexual interactions, are engaged in a power exchange. It is assumed by this man, that the man in the scenario is the one who believes he has the power. In fantasy the straight man sees himself dominating the woman. In our culture men are presumed and encouraged to be the more powerful one., i.e. masculine =power. He exact words were "when a man fantasizes about a woman and then considers the possibility that he may be in the position of that woman should he find himself in a homosexual encounter, he gets scared, like Oh my God!" So, when a straight man begins to fantasize about another man they immediately shut the thought down because they do not want to be in the position of the woman. I think this is interesting. What does it say about how men look at women? And the assumed power roles in the bed room?

Wow. All I can say is that I love being dominated by a woman, and women (girl-on-girl action plus me!). I'm not really into the power struggle per se; I like balance for the most part. I'm very comfortable in a gay bar. Most men are not comfortable with that situation because they are not cool with sexuality. Dudes love 2 girls kissing but most say "fuck that!" when it comes to guys. They are sexually weak. I've kissed a man. So the fuck what. That's equal opportunity bitch!
